Yep. As soon as we add footnote support to AbiWord, we should add a
checkbox at the bottom of the dialog which allows people to include/exclude
them from the counts.
I suppose we could have added a disabled control to the original dialog
layouts, but since nobody's expressed interest in doing the implementation
work for footnotes/endnotes in the 1.0 timeframe, that just seemed like
rubbing it in.
